PACA and Security messages

Can the PACA be programmed via Piced to act when a Security message is transmitted from say a Ness M1 unit?

That is , when a Security Message from Application 208 is broadcast, can I set up the PACA to do something, such as turn on the lights etc?

I know that I can have the Ness turn on a dummy group and then have the Paca respond to that, but can it respond to messages from Application 208?

Thanks,

Already did a bit of a search but was not sure if the PACA could do it.

Will now investigate further.

 

This works fine but takes a bit of playing around because the M1 doesn't implement the C-Bus security protocol very faithfully. The best idea is to run the C-Bus diagnostic routine and get the M1 to do it's thing (i.e. arm away etc) and look at the messages you get.

If you just want simple armed on and off you can just go something like

once getBoolIBSystemIO("Security Armed State") then
begin
SetScene("All Off");
end;

once getBoolIBSystemIO("Security Armed State") = false then
begin
if (time < sunrise) or (time > sunset) then
SetLightingLevel("Kitchen Main", 100%, "4s");

end;

 

Thanks Ashley,
I actually set up LogMessage over the weekend in Piced and tested a lot of things to see what and when the M1 actually sends.

I found out what I needed.
